This traditional Wuyi Rou Gui Oolong from Wuyishan is a famous rock tea known for its signature cinnamon aroma and strong mineral character. Made from the Rou Gui cultivar, this tea is rich, bold, and highly aromatic, making it ideal for roasted oolong lovers and tea drinkers who enjoy spicy, full-bodied teas with lasting flavor and complexity.

The aroma is warm and expressive, with notes of cinnamon, dried fruit, roasted wood, and soft floral undertones. The tea liquor is smooth, rich, and intense, with a strong spicy character balanced by natural sweetness and a lingering aftertaste. Layers of roasted minerals and woody warmth develop through multiple infusions, creating a deep and satisfying tasting experience. The finish is clean, lasting, and full of classic Wuyi “rock essence.”

This tea is traditionally handcrafted using classic Wuyi rock tea processing methods, including withering, rolling, oxidation, and charcoal roasting. Careful roasting enhances the tea’s spicy aroma, mineral depth, and smooth texture while preserving its natural complexity and fragrance.

Steeping Guidelines

Traditional Gongfu Style

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:20. Brew with water at 100°C (212°F). For each infusion, pour the water from a fixed height directly onto the leaves to enhance aroma and flavor release. Immediately pour out the tea liquor after adding water—do not let it steep. Begin tasting from the first infusion. Starting from the fifth infusion, gradually increase the steeping time with each subsequent brew if needed. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew. Bottled water is recommended to ensure the delicate flavors.
